Episode: Beth Love!!! (Dare to You:Pushing limits #2 by Katie McGarry)




I had no love for Beth in Pushing Limits.  She was just…I don’t know…there.  I would not have missed her if she weren’t.  The only reason I noticed her was coz of Isaiah.  Why did he like her?
It has all changed with Dare to You.  I love her.  It’s been a long time since I found my self teary eyed while reading.   

"There are memories that exist in my mind that are so clear that if I focus on them enough I could practically relive them"

Beth shows everyone that she’s tough but while you read through the book you’ll realize that she is very fragile inside. It’s very easy to relate to her.  The insecurities that she had, thinking that she doesn’t deserve Ryan. Or that Ryan wouldn’t want someone like her was something I had gone through and I’m sure a lot of us had felt at some point.  Usually, I find it lame when I read stories like these.  They usually present lame reasons why they do not deserve to be with someone.  But McGarry was able to make me feel her issues and was able to relate to it.
I hate the parents in this story.  It made me appreciate the relationship that I have with mine. 
I found Beth’s and Ryan’s relationship very sweet and just right.  I didn’t have “these things don’t happen in high school” moments.  I also liked that Ryan didn’t go a super caveman.  

I don't lose. Do you hear me? I don't lose and that includes you...

I felt sad for Isaiah coz he liked Beth a lot but there were never couple material for me.  I would have just destroyed the both of them instead of healing or helping each other.
I liked Dare to You a lot better than Pushing Limits. The problems were more common.  I felt the emotions more.  It was relatable.  Love was sweeter.  Looking forward to reading Isaiah’s story.
